167 This means that if |
0 | 168 you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms |
169 later on an unloaded system. If you wanted to set a flag signaling | |
170 a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a | |
171 timer for 30 ms (see example below). | |
172 | |
173 If you use this function, you need to pass <TT | |
174 CLASS="LITERAL" | |
175 >SDL_INIT_TIMER</TT | |
176 > | |
177 to <A | |
